1 Systems I: Computer Organization and Architecture Lecture 9 - Register Transfer and Microoperations Microoperations Digital systems are modular in nature, with modules containing registers, decoders, arithmetic elements, control logic, etc. These digital components are defined by the registers that they contain and the operations performed on their data. These operations are called microoperations. Microoperations are elementary operations performed on the information stored in one or more registers.

2 Hardware Organization The hardware organization of a digital computer is best defined by specifying: The set of register that it contains and their function. The sequence of microoperations performed on the binary information stored in the registers. The control signals that initiates the sequence of microoperations. Register Transfer Language A register transfer language is a notation used to describe the microperation transfers between registers. It is a system for epressing in symbolic form the microoperation sequences among register that are used to implement machine-language instructions.

3 Registers and Register Transfer Registers are denoted by capital letters and are sometimes followed by numerals, e.g., MAR Memory Address Register (holds addresses for the memory unit) PC Program Counter (holds the net instruction s address) IR Instruction Register (holds the instruction being eecuted) R Register (a CPU register) We can indicate individual bits by placing them in parentheses, e.g., PC(8-5), R2(5), etc. Block Diagrams of Registers R Register R Showing Individual Bits R PC(H) PC(L) Numbering of Bits Divided Into Two Parts

5 Register Transfer and Hardware Every statement in Register Transfer Language implies the eistence of hardware that implements the microoperation. The statement P: R2 R implies the eistence of the necessary circuitry to implement the transfer as well as the mechanism to set and clear the control variable P. Transfer from R to R2 when P = Control circuit Load R2 Clock n R

6 The Bus A bus is a set of common wires that carries data between registers. There is a separate wire for every bit in the registers. There are also a set of control signals which determines which register is selected by the bus at a particular time. A bus can be constructed using multipleer which enable a sets of registers to share a common bus for data transfer. Data Transfer Using the Bus The select lines S and S indicate which of four register will have its contents transferred to the bus. In general, a bus system will multiple k registers of n bit each to produce a n line common bus. It will require n k multipleers. The bus is connected to the inputs of all destination registers. and will activate the load control of the selected register when it is ready to transfer data. This can be written as: R2 BUS, BUS R or R2 R

8 Three State-Bus Buffers A bus can be built using three-state buffers instead of multipleers. A three-state gate has three states:, and a highimpedance state, which behaves like an open circuit. It is possible to connect a large number of threestate gates in a common bus line without overloading it.

10 Microoperations Microoperations are classified into four categories: Register transfer microoperations (data moves from register to register) Arithmetic microoperations (perform arithmetic on data in registers) Logic microoperations (perform bit manipulation on data in registers) Shift microoperations (perform shift on data in registers) Arithmetic Microoperations Unlike register transfer microoperations, arithmetic microoperations change the information content. The basic arithmetic microoperations are: addition subtraction increment decrement shift

11 Arithmetic Microoperations (continued) The RTL statement: R3 R + R2 indicates an add microoperation. We can similarly specify the other arithmetic microoperations. Multiplication and division are not considered microoperations. Multiplication is implemented by a sequence of adds and shifts. Division is implemented by a sequence of substracts and shifts. Arithmetic Microoperations Symbolic Designation R3 R + R2 R3 R R2 R2 R2 R2 R2 + R3 R+R2 + R R + R R - Description Contents of R plus R2 transferred to R3 Contents of R minus R2 transferred to R3 Complement contents of R2 ( s comp.) 2 s complment contens of R2 (negate) R plus 2 s comp. of R2 Increment content of R by Decrement content of R by

12 Binary Adder We implement a binary adder with registers to hold the data and a digital circuit to perform the addition (called a binary adder). The binary adders is constructed using full adders connected in cascade so that the carry produced by one full adder becomes an input for the net. Adding two n-bit numbers requires n full adders. The n data bits for A and B might come from R and R2 respectively 4-Bit Binary Adder B 3 A 3 B 2 A 2 B A B A C 3 C 2 C FA FA FA FA C S 3 S 2 C 4 S S

13 Adder-Subtracter Subtracting A B is most easily done by adding B to A and then adding. This makes it convenient to combine both addition and subtraction into one circuit, called an addersubtracter. M is the mode indicator M = indicates addition (B is left alone and C is ) M = indicates subtraction (B is complement and C is ). 4-Bit Adder-Subtractor B 3 A 3 B 2 A 2 B A B A M C 3 C 2 C FA FA FA FA C S 3 S 2 C 4 S S

14 Binary Incrementer The binary incrementer adds to the contents of a register, e.g., a register storing would have in it after being incremented. There are times when we want incrementing done independent of a register. We can accomplish this with a series of cascading half-adders. 4-Bit Binary Incrementer A 3 A 2 A A y y y y HA HA HA HA C S C S C S C S C 4 S 3 S 2 S S

15 Arithmetic Circuit We can implement 7 arithmetic microoperations (add, add with carry, subtract, subtract with borrow, increment, decrement and transfer) with one circuit. We provide a series of cascading full adders with A i and the output of a 4 multipleer. The multipleers inputs are two selects, B i, B i, logical and logical. Which of these four values we provide (together with the carry) determines which microoperation is performed.

The result is Add (for C in = ) or Add With Carry (for C in = ). When S S =, the MUX provides B. The result is Subtract with Borrow (for C in = ) or Subtract (for C in = ). When S S =, the MUX provides. The result is Transfer (for C in = ) or Increment (for C in = ). When S S =, the MUX provides. The result is Decrement (for C in = ) or Transfer (for C in = ).

17 Logic Microoperations Logic microoperations are binary operations performed on corresponding bits of two bit strings. Eample: P: R R R2 Content of R Content of R2 Content of R after P = Special Symbols used for logic operations: - AND - OR - XOR This avoids confusing AND with multiplication, OR with addition, etc. Truth Tables for 6 2-Variable Function y F F F 2 F 3 F 4 F 5 F 6 F 7

20 Logic Applications Logic Operations allow us to manipulate individual bits in ways that we could not do otherwise. These applications include: selective set selective complement select clear mask insert clear Selective-Set Selective-set sets to the bits in register A where there is a corresponding in register B: Content of A before Content of B (logic operand) Content of A after This is done using the logical-or operation.

21 Selective Complement Selective-complement complements the bits in register A where there is a corresponding in register B: Content of A before Content of B (logic operand) Content of A after This is done using the eclusive-or operation. Selective Clear Selective-clear clears to the bits in register A where there is a corresponding in register B: Content of A before Content of B (logic operand) Content of A after This is done using the logical-and operation and B.

22 Mask Mask clears to the bits in register A where there is a corresponding in register B: Content of A before Content of B (logic operand) Content of A after This is done using the logical-and operation and B. Insert Insert inserts a new value into a set of bits in register A. First we mask out the upper four bits (in our 8-bit value): Content of A before Content of B (logic operand) Content of A after In the second step, we insert the new values: Content of A before Content of B (logic operand) Content of A after The masking is done using an AND and the insertion is done with an OR.

23 Clear Clear compares A and B and produces all s if the numbers are equal. the bits in register A where there is a corresponding in register B: Content of A before Content of B (logic operand) A A B If A& B are both or both, this produces.this is done using the logical-and operation and B. Shift Microoperations Shift microoperations are used for serial transfer of data and are used in conjunction with arithmetic and logic operations. The register contents can be shifted to the left or to the right. There are three types of shift operations: Logical shifts transfers through the serial input, with all the bits involved in the shifting. Arithmetic shifts multiplies (or divides) a signed number by 2. Circular shifts circulates the bits of the register around the two ends with no loss of information.
